January 13 - 17 Finals Week

It's finals week!

As I've talked about in class, the English 3 final will consist of two parts. Part I will be multiple choice questions covering the vocabulary words, grammar, rhetorical analysis terms, and the rest of the contents of the Study Guide. Part II will ask you to read a short passage, then provide an outline response to the prompt, as we've practiced in class several times. 

If you turned in late work, please be patient. Although it's just for partial credit, I tend to receive quite a bit of grading from all of my classes around the final due date. Late work will generally be in the Gradebook before your final, in the order received.

MONDAY: Journal warm-up with the Study Guide. SOAPS and analysis of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech. Go over reading homework.

Due: Please read pages 33-40 in the Rhetorical Analysis Packet and annotate. We'll go through the questions at the end together in class.

Homework: Study the Study Guide and bring it with you to class on Tuesday.
